I disagree. Honestly since UI have become the primary domain of designers and "UX" experts they have regressed massively. 15 years ago you opened an application. The feel was consistent. I had a bar at the top which showed me the option in an straightforward manner which allowed to quickly explore and click through to relatively specialized things. Now, every app has it's own UI. And even worse everything is as hidden as possible in the name of being "clean".
